UPDATE: Minecraft's Xbox One Incarnation Won't Transfer Saves

you mean cobbled, not hobbled. And you'd think there would be a way to transfer. There should be a program that detects where each block is, determines what kind of block it is, and sends that information over to the new version and puts an equivalent block in that place. There might be some blocks that fail to transfer, but it seems you could get the majority.Ultratwinkie said:

The Walking Dead example linked in the article isn't the same thing.
With Minecraft, you're talking about the your entire world being saved and then reloading it in what is in some minor capacity, a new game. Regardless of the issues, it's different. The save file itself is what you need to playing from, and it's not compatible.
With Walking Dead, as with things like the Mass Effect series, that's not how it works. There is not need to save your entire world and load it in a new game, your only saving details, hard data representing the unique traits of your experience.
A new game doesn't need to use that same file format, or much of anything similar really, all it needs to be able to do is read that data of that file and break down the details, a far simpler feat where compatibility between the old save types and the new is irrelevant.
Hell, it's common enough for saves to become invalid when a game is patched, and someone is bitching that saves won't transfer between a rebuilt game on a new console? Fuck, that's not a real issue. Now excuse me while I go ***** about not being able to resume my old game of UFO Defense on Enemy Unknown.

Want to play games offline? Get a 360Mr Ink 5000 said:
Want to play games without Kinect? Get a 360
Want to play your Xbox games? Get a 360 and cross your fingers
Want to play Xbox 360 games without paying more cash to get them? Get a 360
Want to play Halo 3 on PC? Get a 360, put it inside a PC case, pretend you don't notice the UI differences
...I think I finally get it now. The Xbox One isn't a real console, they just thought up something so horrible that it would make more people go out and buy Xbox 360s! Those clever bastards!
They didn't give us owners of the PC version, the version for Xbox 360, so why would people that have it on Xbox 360 get it on Xbox One, then there is the Phone version, plus if you wan't to play Minecraft i don't see why you would play it on Xbox 360 to begin with but that's a different story.
And as for not being able to transfer the saves, who didn't expect that coming, and if the saves mean so much to you, just continue to play it on the 360 no Xbone not that hard.

It's not their department, at all for that matter. They play it to make videos, not to promote it.Colbster94 said:
Whether it is an entire world or just character statistics; it is all a matter of reading data from a file. Chances are that all the items and blocks available in the current 360 version are also available in the Xbone version of mineshaft, there is absolutely no reason for them not to convert the old savefiles to the new format. Aside from being lazy money grabbing ass holes that is.Jadak said:
It's basically the same as how Word 2007 supported the older .doc extension, although the program itself saved it's files in a .docx format. Or how Little Big Planet 2 was able to load levels made in Little Big Planet 1.
A developer not caring about user save files between patches is the sign of a crappy developer, seriously, shit like this shouldn't be allowed to fly. What developer is fucking their user base over like this? More importantly; what user base is allowing themselves to be fucked over like this?Jadak said:
You'd think by now Microsoft would be trying to stop the bleeding, not poking the wound with a folk.
